Quick Recap: The Valspar Championship

Peter Malnati Emotional In Win

The year of the underdog continues.

This time with Peter Malnati, who’s twelve-under score and two-stroke victory prove that not everyone who plays a yellow ball stinks at golf.

For those who don’t know, Malnati is a fairly interesting figure in the professional golf landscape.

He’s one of six guys on the PGA Tour player policy board along with Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, Patrick Cantlay, Jordan Spieth, and Webb Simpson.

He’s known for being the guy on the board who represents the everyman. There’s been times where he’s barely retained his tour card and he’s a career grinder. A few more notes on Malnati after his win:

✅ The Valspar Championship was his first win on tour in nine years.

✅ He qualified for The Masters for the first time in his career

✅ He maintains full tour status through 2026

✅ He’ll be in all the remaining Signature Events in 2024

Just short, again.

Cam Young came up just a little shy of his first tour victory, again.

This is his seventh runner up finish since becoming PGA tour rookie of the year in 2021-2022.

Don’t Bogey this Opportunity 

Topgolf-style entertainment venues are booming, and investors are dying to get a piece.

The problem? They’re locked out. Just this week, shares of Topgolf Callaway (MODG) soared after rumors swirled that the company would focus solely on Topgolf. But once execs denied it, the market corrected.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to invest in this boom.

GolfSuites is tapping into this $16.7b market with top-class entertainment venues, from outdoor ranges to downtown bars.

With three profitable venues on the books and hundreds more marked for expansion, GolfSuites has the prices and profit margins to finish atop the leaderboard.

GolfSuites is open to all investors (and isn’t weighed down by an apparel brand, either). Become a GolfSuites shareholder today. 

New TGL Promo

In the event you forgot about TGL, due to the leagues postponement, they just dropped a new promo.

Rickie Fowler does the narration and they announced that the league with now be starting in January 2025 and it’ll be aired on ESPN.

Thing We’d Buy If We Weren’t Broke

We’re sure you’ve seen The Masters gnome before.

During Masters week, they sell him at the pro-shop for about fifty bucks.

They sell out every year, sometimes within a few minutes. Well, guess what?

You, lucky golfer, can buy someone’s full collection for 15k right now on Ebay.
